FPV Drone Long Range Flight - Geprc Tern LR40 - Dji O3 - 5.5 km flight, over 1 minute without video🫣

[@markbosold4050]

Oh my gosh! So happy you got the LR40 back safely and GPS rescue kept you in the sky heading home. I think I’d cry if I lost mine. Stunningly beautiful video with the fog over the hills at sunrise. Were you able to understand the why you had the video signal loss? I noticed you also had a momentary failsafe on the control link too. Are you using ELRS 2.4GHz? Thanks for sharing your videos and safe travels.

[@BigKahunaFPV]

Hello Mark, I think that I misjudged the altitude because of the fog. There were probably trees between me and the quad or the fog was just a nuisance. I use elrs 2.4 and never have any problems with reception with the Turn LR 40. Internally, I had almost given up on the quad after the goggles didn't show any image for a minute. GPS rescue also only climbed to my maximum altitude and that naturally drained the battery. Best regards and many thanks 😊

uff... bruh! The best weather condition to "crumble" your copter. Goosebumps factor 10/10.😱 freestyle4life❤‍🩹

[@TheMadmacs]

wonderful images, very much worth the risks.

[@BigKahunaFPV]

@@TheMadmacs Thank you very much, you are definitely right. Best regards

[@Andrew_Dai]

Another tip: for long range, you can set up climb 3-5m and then go back, I saw your flight go up around 10-20s. More risky

[@BigKahunaFPV]

@@Andrew_Dai Absolutely right, but I don't just fly the quad in mountainous terrain and often only fly it with a lipo battery in light freestyle. I'm too lazy to adjust the configuration every time. That's why I didn't change the battery warning to li-ion batteries. Best regards and always have a good flight 🫡

what an adventure! New sub!!

[@captmohmadabdullah2577]

Thank you for sharing great footage; Great you got back you quad, GPS rescue worked. If you don't mind, could you share with us what type of battery you are using? Lipo or Lion, and it Mah capacity.

[@BigKahunaFPV]

@@captmohmadabdullah2577 Hey, I fly 3000mAh Li Ion batteries and 850mAh LiPo batteries with the Tern LR40. Best regards

[@ermanpehlivan2335]

You relied too much on your battery, bro! Having only 3.4V is too risky to make the 5 km trip back! :D But she turned back. congrats!

[@BigKahunaFPV]

@@ermanpehlivan2335 Hey, in principle I would have gone for 3.2 volts, but I knew that the goal could no longer be achieved with that either. If I have a headwind or am high enough with the quad, I turn around at the latest when the battery is half empty. However, neither of these things happened and I was worried that I would not have enough remaining capacity for an emergency maneuver. And that is exactly what happened, i.e. the emergency maneuver At least everything worked out 😅🫡. Best regards and many thanks

[@guatemalamini]

Is a li-on battery you can lower it down to 2.8v....3.4v is more than enough juice to come back.. Lipos can be taken down to 3.5v

[@Eckus]

​​@@guatemalaminiactualy lipos can be flown down to 3,3v but after that you definitively crash

[@richardbowman6227]

Jist orderd one of these today the analog version how far is safe to fly analog and any other advice would be appreciated and great video what a beautiful scenery is this scotland you are flying

[@BigKahunaFPV]

@@richardbowman6227 Hey, I bought the analog version and converted it to digital shortly afterwards. So I can't give you much information about analog. I often had problems with the quad because screws came loose and this happened at regular intervals. You should check this And I would switch to a three-blade propeller. I fly a Gemfan Hurricane, which makes the Tern LR40 much quieter and doesn't lose any range. That was in Slovenia, by the way. Best regards and always have a good flight 😎👍

[@richardbowman6227]

@BigKahunaFPV thanks for the info my good man i will make sure i check the screws before and after every flight I'm away to purchase tri blades aswell so they are here for when my quad is deliverd and you have a beautiful country i live in scotland so hoping to fly over sme mountains over here and share the beauty later thanks again i can't wait to fly that bad boy

[@florianricker1633]

Sehr schöner Flug! Hattest du rescue auf werkseinstellug? Wie ging 13:14 es deinem Akku nach dem flug hoffe es war ein li ion, der steckt das besser weg als ein lipo

[@BigKahunaFPV]

@@florianricker1633 Vielen Dank, ich habe knapp 2000mAh nachladen müssen. Der Li Ion Akku hat das also gut überstanden😄. Wahrscheinlich besser als ich 😅. Beste Grüße

[@fIysohigh]

Wow, that's really scary, glad the GPS rescue worked. Do you know why the GPS reception wasn't great with only 5-8 satellites?

[@BigKahunaFPV]

@@fIysohigh I was really scared 😅!! I can't tell you why the module found so few satellites. That surprised me too. Thank God there were enough for the rescue, or at least enough at that moment!! Best regards

[@remyKhuong]

I got the same experience 😂 the video on my channel completely lost video signal about 4-5m.

[@anotherview1]

Cloud and fog looks amazing! did the clouds blocking the signal? goodthat you had enugh jus for the rescueclimb

[@BigKahunaFPV]

@@anotherview1 I think that the clouds partly affected the signal, but since there were also many small wooded hills in front of me, it must have been a mix of everything. Cheers to the efficiency of the quad and the 3000mAh Li Ion batteries 😅. Best regards

[@3dflyer347]

very impressive rescue! I have a Tern with O3 which is my favorite drone, but so far I have not worked out the settings in betaflight 4.5 that trigger/enable rescue either by a switch or by failsafe. Would you post your GPS rescue relevant settings for Betaflight 4.5?

[@BigKahunaFPV]

@@3dflyer347 Hello and thank you very much. The topic is very complex, but there are many good tutorials on KZbin It would be difficult for me to address everything in one comment.I hope you can understand that!?I saw a good video recently, I can link it to you if I find it again tomorrow. Is that OK with you? Best regards

Headwind always sketches me out.

[@MatzeMaulwurf]

Wow what a flight! What battery did you use? You already drained 1.100 mAh when you deceived to fly back 🙈🙈🙈 and then GPS rescue which did a huge raise in height 🪫.

[@BigKahunaFPV]

@@MatzeMaulwurf Hello and thank you very much. I use a 3000mAh Li Ion battery and had to recharge about 2300mAh. So it was a close call 😅. Best regards

[@MatzeMaulwurf]

@@BigKahunaFPVah nice. I was thinking about 1.500 mah standard FPV LiPos 😂🙈 maybe I should spot weld some 18650 VTC6 together. Still have some laying around to rebuild a power drill akkupack.

[@BigKahunaFPV]

@@MatzeMaulwurf You can do that, but I don't trust myself to solder batteries. But I have 4s 1400mAh LiPo batteries and wanted to test them when I got the chance. I just always forget 😅!! Best regards

[@MatzeMaulwurf]

@@BigKahunaFPV soldering is easy. You just need to spot weld them before. Looks like you are flying in the north of Germany. Komm lang und ich löt sie dir zusammen ;)
